The effects of raw material feeding procedures and gelation temperatures on zeolite synthesis are investigated. Thus, the synthesis of zeolite 4A from sodium aluminate and sodium silicate solutions is chosen as a model reaction, for which equi-molar hydrogelation is performed with variation of feeding procedures and gelation temperatures. The formation of crystal nuclei, often being referred to as precursors, is induced under different conditions, the variation being examined by means of viscosity and water contents. The final products of zeolite 4A are evaluated by XRD, SEM morphology, particle size analysis and cation exchange capacity. Evidence shows that the viscosity of the initial products and their water contents are markedly influenced by the feeding methods of the reactant materials and by the gelation temperature. Further, it is found that the gelation at an elevated temperatures near 7$0^{\circ}C$ can be made possible through modification of mixing procedures. This provides convenient means of controlling the particle size of the final products. In this regard, a continuous flow-type mixing technique is proposed, which is demonstrated to be superior to the conventional batch-type mixings. The significance of this finding may lie in savings of equipment as well as energy costs, especialy on a large scale commercialization of zeolite production.

가공적성이 우수한 알코올처리 각시가자미껍질 젤라틴을 식품산업소재로 이용하기 위한 기초자료를 얻을 목적으로 젤라틴농도, pH, 정치온도 및 시간과 같은 겔화조건에 대한 알코올처리 젤라틴의 물리적 특성 및 색조의 변화를 알코올 무처리 젤라틴과 비교하여 검토하였다. 알코올처리 및 무처리 젤라틴이 모두 농도가 증가할수록 겔강도, 졸화온도 및 겔화온도 및 점도 등과 같은 물리적 특성은 증가하였다. 젤라틴 졸의 pH가 에탄올처리한 젤라틴의 경우 6.0일 때, 무처리한 젤라틴의 경우 5.0일 때 겔강도, 졸화온도 및 겔화온도가 가장 높았으나, $pH\;5.0{\sim}8.0$의 범위에서는 거의 차이가 없었고, pH 5.0 이하 및 pH 9.0 이상에서는 급격히 감소하였다. 젤라틴 졸을 겔화시키기 위하여 정치시키는 경우 온도는 낮을수록, 시간은 길수록 겔강도 및 졸화온도는 높았다. 겔화조건을 동일하게 하였을 때 에탄올처리한 젤라틴이 무처리한 젤라틴보다 물리적 특성이 우수하였다.

DMF는 특별히 PVA에 대해 수소결합 등의 강한 상호작용을 하는 용매가 아니다. 오히려 UCST계로서 온도가 낮아질수록 상분리나 phase demixing을 일으킨다. PVA/DMF의 겔화는 x-ray 회절이나 열분석을 통해 crystallization-induced gelation으로 밝혀졌다. 그리고 겔화 온도가 낮을수록 결정화는 빠르게 진행되었다. 소량의 PEG는 PVA/DMF 겔 형성을 도왔으며 urea는 겔 형성을 방해하였다. 전자현미경은 이 겔화 과정을 잘 보여 주었다. 갓 만들어진 젤은 표면에 깊은 주름이 있으며 아직 상분리가 본격적으로 시작되기 전의 상태로서 아주 미세한 DMF가 차지하는 공간인 구멍들이 사진에 포착되지 않는다. Aging시간이 길어지면서 상분리가 시작되면 표면의 분화구가 나타나기 시작하며, 이 분화구는 원래 용매상이 차지하고 있던 공간으로서 phase demixing에 의해 PVA chain들은 분화구 주변으로 분리된다. 상분리과정에서 PVA chain들은 서로 당겨져서 표면적이 줄어듬과 동시에 분화구 크기도 커진다. Aging에 따른 x-ray결과와 열적 성질은 이 모든 과정을 뒷받침한다.

This paper describes an extension of viscoelastic Group Interaction Modelling (GIM) to predict the relaxation response of linear, branched and cross-linked structures. This model is incorporated into a Monte Carlo percolation grid simulation used to generate the topological structure during the isothermal cure of a gel, so enabling the chemorheological response to be predicted at any point during the cure. The model results are compared to experimental data for an epoxy-amine systems and good agreement is observed. The viscoelastic model predicts the same exponent power-law behaviour of the loss and storage moduli as a function of frequency and predicts the cross-over in the loss tangent at the percolation condition for gelation. The model also predicts the peak in the loss tangent which occurs when the glass transition temperature surpasses the isothermal cure temperature and the system vitrifies.

Ag(I) carboxylate gelators with mixed-ligands were systemically investigated to understand the mechanism of the organic gel formation. The gelators constructed 3-D networks of nanometer-sized thin fibers which facilitated gel formation in various aromatic organic solvents, even at very low concentrations. The loss of reflection peaks in the X-ray diffraction data indicated the reduction of strong interactions between the long alkyl chains as the Ag(I) carboxylates formed gels by maximizing their interactions with the organic solvents. The gelation temperature ($T_{gel}$) was measured to explore the interaction between the gelator molecules and solvents depending on their composition and concentration. Based on the gelation phenomena, a dissociation/re-association mechanism was proposed.

In this study we investigated the gelation time of sol which containing mixtures of TEOS with H2O, ethanol, HCl in the preparation of monolithic silica glass through Sol-Gel method. In this case apparent activation energies were observed by Arrhenius equation. We investigated the conversion from gel to glass in drying and heat treatment stages using DT-TG, FT-IR, XRD analysis and dried gel conversed to glass by heat treatment up to 85$0^{\circ}C$. The results of this experiment showed that the gelation time of solutions were promoted when increasing the amount of addition of H2O and HCl catalyst for TEOS and high reaction temperature of solution.

Monolithic gels in the ZrO2-SiO2 system containing up to 30 mol% ZrO2 were prepared from the mixed solutions of Zr(O.nC3H7)4 and partially prehydrolyzed Si(OC2H5)4 (Tetraethyl orthosilicate) by the sol-gel method. The effect of parameters such as the hydrolysis temperature, the amount of water and HCl on the hydrolysis condensation process was investigated and the obtained gels were studied by the IR spectra and TG-DTA. The results showed that the gelation time becomes shorter with increasing content of HCl, H2O and gelation temperature, and that the polymerization was more easily completed with the higher water volume causing the elimination of unreacted organic groups.

Acrylonitrile(AN) was solution-polymerized in dimethyl sulfoxide(DMSO) and tertiary butyl alcohol(TBA) at 30, 40, $50^\circ{C}$ using a low temperature initiator, 2,2'-azobis(2,4-dimethylvaleronitrile) (ADMVN). The low temperature polymerization using ADMVN, DMSO, and TBA is to be successful in obtaining high molecular weight polyacrylonitrile(PAN) with less branches by solution polymerization. Throug a polymerization of AN in DMSO at $30^\circ{C}$, PAN having viscosity-average molecular weight$(M_v)$ of 931,000 was obtained. And then, during AN solution polymerization in DMSO and TBA using a cosolvent system the in-situ formation of microfibrillar structure has been discovered at the cosolvent composition of 24/1$(V_{DMSO}/V_{TBA})$. The simultaneous process of gelation and phase separation of long chain molecules may explain the in-situ formation of PAN fibers during polymerization.

The purpose of this study is to develop a transurethral liquid suppository containing prostaglandin $E_1\;(PGE_1)-loaded$ microemulsion, which undergoes a phase transition to gels at body temperature. The effects of oils, ethanol as solvent and HCl as pH-controlling agent on the physicochemical properties of liquid suppositories composed of poloxamer P 407, P 188 and carbopol was investigated. The stability of $PGE_1$ and release of $PGE_1$ from liquid suppository were evaluated. Oils such as Neobee and soybean oil significantly decreased the gelation temperature but increased the gel strength of liquid suppository due to their strongly binding with the components of liquid suppository base. However, ethanol slightly did the opposite. The pH of liquid suppositories hardly affected the gelation temperature and gel strength due to addition of very small HCl (0.005-0.01%). A liquid suppository [$PGE_1/P$ 407/P 188/carbopol/Neobee/ethanol/HCl (0.2/14/14/0.4/7/2/0.005%)], which had the gelation temperature $(34.2{\pm}0.6^{\circ}C)$ and gel strength $(31.35{\pm}4.37\;sec)$ suitable for liquid suppository system, was easily administered and not leak out from the body. About 60% of $PGE_1$ was released out within 2 h from this formulation. It was shown that the release of $PGE_1$ was proportional to the square root of time, indicating that $PGE_1$ might be released from the suppository by Fickian diffusion. It was stable at $4^{\circ}C$ for at least 2 months. The results suggest that transurethral liquid suppository containing prostaglandin $E_1-loaded$ microemulsion is thought to be a convenient, safe and effective dosage form for $PGE_1$. However, it should be further developed as a more convenient and stable dosage form for $PGE_1$.
